Abteikirche Niederaltaich

Abteikirche Niederaltaich is a monastery church along the Danube River with thick stone walls and large window openings. The interior displays architectural and decorative elements from multiple periods that blend into a cohesive space.

The abbey was founded in 741 by Duke Odilo of Bavaria and settled by monks from Reichenau. It grew over centuries into an important religious and cultural center along the Danube River.

The church is shaped by an active monastic community that holds daily services and shapes religious life here. Visitors experience a living monastery where traditions continue to guide the rhythm of each day.

Access to the monastery is through Mauritiushof 1a, where visitors can explore the grounds. The church welcomes individual visitors, and the attached restaurant makes for a comfortable stay.

The monastery produces its own liqueurs served in the attached gasthaus. This craft tradition links a culinary experience with the monastic heritage of the place.
